Tabloid headlines such as 'Anti-social Feral Youth,' 'Vile Products
of Welfare in the UK' and 'One in Four Adolescents is a Criminal'
have in recent years obscured understanding of what social justice
means for young people and how they experience it. Youth
marginality in Britain offers a new perspective by promoting young
people's voices and understanding the agency behind their actions.
It explores different forms of social marginalisation within media,
culture and society, focusing on how young people experience social
discrimination at a personal and collective level. This collection
from a wide range of expert contributors showcases contemporary
research on multiple youth deprivation of personal isolation,
social hardship, gender and ethnic discrimination and social
stigma. With a foreword from Robert MacDonald, it explores the
intersection of race, gender, class, asylum seeker status and care
leavers in Britain, placing them in the broader context of
austerity, poverty and inequality to highlight both change and
continuity within young people's social and cultural identities.
This timely contribution to debates concerning youth austerity in
Britain is suitable for students across youth studies, sociology,
education, criminology, youth work and social policy.

Of their adaptation of Henry James' allusive short story,
librettist Myfanwy Piper wrote that she and Britten intended to
'recreate it for a different medium.' This concept is developed
further in Jane Mackay's 33 paintings: a visual reaction to the
music rather than illustrations to particular scenes, occupying a
unique position between abstract and figurative art. Musicologist
Andrew Plant, formerly of the Britten-Pears Library, provides an
introduction and commentary and there is a preface by the
distinguished countertenor James Bowman. Bringing together the
entire series exhibited during the 2004 Aldeburgh Festival, these
paintings are occasionally John Piper-esque in their figurative
elements and hints of an unseen world. Now available from Boydell
& Brewer, this imaginative interpretation of Britten's The Turn
of the Screw will be an essential addition to the library of all
opera lovers. Limited to 300 signed and numbered copies. JANE
MACKAY has broadcast widely on radio and television and has held
numerous solo exhibitions, including shows at the Florence Biennale
and London's Wigmore Hall. She is also a choral singer and oboist.
ANDREW PLANT has contributed to a number of scholarly publications
and was formerly Curator of Exhibitions at the Britten-Pears
Library. He now teaches in Windsor and appears regularly as a
recital accompanist.
